I saw Dr Ayhson Shafiq as a new patient for a routine visit. He was an excellent dentist and explained everything in detail and addressed my concerns. His assistant was friendly and professional. I had a great cleaning and plan to return for some cavity care. The front desk staff were nice and courteous; I was taken to a room soon after my arrival. The office including waiting room and patient rooms were clean and welcoming. The office billed my dental insurance with no issues. I will be back to see Dr Shafiq and his team soon - highly recommend!

I am so so so beyond grateful for everything they have done for me. I couldn’t be happier with the end results and these doctors truly know what they are doing. Also have amazing bedside manner and check in all through out the process. Dr.Yesback and his team are nothing short of miracle workers!!

The hygienist and dentist are great, but the front desk experience hasn’t been. I’ve arrived on time for appointments and was often taken back late. I’ve also had trouble getting callbacks about treatment estimates, even after insurance approval—this has happened twice. Additionally, they’ve taken x-rays without checking my insurance coverage frequency, which left me with unexpected bills.

I normally receive my care at Chester Dentists at Commonwealth Dentistry; however, I had to visit the Forest Hill office today. To my pleasant surprise, I was treated with great professionalism and respect and received some of the best dental care I have experienced in quite some time. I was particularly impressed by the provider and the level of attention and care shown throughout my visit. While I am not planning to switch practices, I would highly recommend this office to anyone seeking a new dentist. It is reassuring to know there is a strong, capable network available to support patients when needed.

I’ve had horrible dental experiences that made me avoid the dentist for years. Needed an emergency appointment for a broken tooth causing me pain. Everyone I spoke to was very kind and made the environment very relaxing. The dentists were really informative told me the best options then discussed financially what my best option was, I never felt judged for needing to go the cheaper route! They worked to fit me in for a same day extraction and I’m not exaggerating she pulled my tooth in like 5 minutes! She was so kind and informative they talked me through everything as it was happening. My sister sent me this text while I was back getting my tooth pulled ‘ lol I can hear you out here sound alike you’re having a grand old time’. This was the best dental experiences I’ve ever had I would recommend them to everyone! I will continue to see them as a regular dentist!!
